Serendip Strings TuitionFree classes for children

'Serendip String Tuition' was officially launched at a special event at Serendipity Trust on Wednesday 27 April 2016 at the auspicious time of 4:10pm.

These classes are open to all Sri Lankan children (aged 5+) who would love to learn the violin, viola or cello but for whatever reason can't afford to.

The Serendipity Trust is very proud to have supported Serendip Strings with classroom facilities as they established themselves in Galle. They are now based permanently at our previous location on Cripps Road. Serendipity Trust has also made a financial donation to assist with their administration expenses and donated various furniture and other items needed in their new 'home'.

Make sure you drop in to 32 Cripps Road, Galle to register your interest!

About Serendip StringsSerendip String Tuition is a non-profit organisation that benefits the children and communities of Sri Lanka, specifically in Galle, bringing them together in an open, friendly, fun and safe space to learn string instruments and participate in group lessons and ensembles.

Founded by renowned Australian violinist Ursula Nelius, Serendip offers free string tuition and instruments, creates opportunities and career paths, and brings together the diverse communities of Sri Lanka through music in the wake of war and natural disaster.

Serendip believes in the learning of musicianship to help a child develop socially and academically, and encourages the pursuit of a variety of musical traditions.

Serendip Strings have been running music workshops for children at our Galle Children's Festivals since 2015.
